[RESOLVED!]Aleworks Input script(s) interfering with Event Input Conditions

[Kain Nobel]

Good day to everybody, I need some help with some of the Aleworks stuff, namely the Input module. (I hope vgvgf reads this, since he is the author of these modules, so he can make a fix for all of us.)

Alright, here's the scenario, I use a standard conditional branch to check if the player is pressing a directional key, in this example, player is pressing down transfers to next map.

@> Conditional Branch: The Down Button is being pressed
  @> # Transfer map command
  : Branch End
@>

...However, the Button conditions don't work anymore (at least direction, I haven't checked the other stuff.) So I have to do a workaround and do it script-style...

@> Conditional Branch: Script: Input.press?(Input::DOWN)
  @> # Transfer map command
  : Branch End
@>

...And now, it works like its supposed to, but that means I have to change this in all similiar events in my game (and that could be painstaking if, god forbid, I had a huge game.)

How do I restore the functionality of the Conditional Branch Input commands? I don't mind doing it script style, but it shouldn't be required. Can someone help me fix this? (Or vgvgf, can you fix this for us, please?) Help is much appreciated!

Good news, here you have the fix: :grin:

Just add it in a new script section, or in the same section of AIM.

Thank you thank you very much vgvgf, I'm not the only person that will benefit from the patch. I'm enjoying the whole library so far, I'll probably be making much use of it in future scripts!

This topic is resolved!
